One name is behind the War of Words, a person who seems to exist only in the world of disinformation – but who are they, and can they be stopped?

This is an epic story of weaponised narrative, disinformation, conspiracy and paranoia in the style of Le Carre, taking the listener at breakneck speed around the world towards a deadly confrontation in Eastern Ukraine, whilst laying bare the facts about our contemporary world of fake news, data farming and political interference in all its detail.

Deeply embedded in today’s current affairs and conflicts, this drama continues to resonate with ongoing events in the real world and cyberspace up to the present day.
